At least in Nasuverse!Camelot Arturia and the Knights of the Round Table were actual knights, and I think the Fianna are canonically described as knights, too.

There is also the Knights of the Red Branch. Cu said that despite technically being knights - their personalities were for the most part far from traditional chivalry. In some cases they were'nt very good people.

Knight as in chivalry and that stuff didn't exist until much much later, but there's a pretty easy argument that knights as in a social class, recognizable military function, or general philosophy existed, depending on the culture, as early as like 300 BC.
Localizationing stuff
I think the argument is whether chivalry, specifically, existed in earlier periods in the Nasuverse than in the real world.
Artoria's a quintessential Middle Ages knight about a full 1000 years before that ever happened, so.
Assuming Nasu gives the slightest shit about actual historical accuracy at all and still bases the Arthurian Tales in the 500s like everyone else on the planet.

also i must be blind cause i've been looking for the avenger skills and can't find them
someone find them for me
You don't see her saying "we were chivalrous and doing chivalry" or whatnot during her time though.
The ideals and the rules might have existed back then but the concept itself may not have existed.
And its through Grail knowledge that they know "WE WERE CHIVALROUS PEEPS."
Just wait until we get to Britian back then in GO
You know it's going to happen

MAG: C+
LUC: E
NP: D
Keywords
Skills:
Magic Resistance: D
Ability to repel magecraft. Resists Single-Action spells.
Territory Creation: EX
Ability to establish an area suited for ones purposes. Lancer can create a Mausoleum superior to a Temple for her purposes.
Battle Continuation: C
Ability to continue fighting despite grievous wounds. The wounds this skill refers to is not physical, but rather mental and emotional. Lancer can stay alive from grievous wounds that affect at most 20% of her total body surface area simply through sheer fortitude alone. Also, due to its unique nature, it is also possible to shrug off mental suggestion magecraft that can only be blocked by B rank Magic Resistance.
Kiss Demon: B
A special skill which is a subset of skills such as Bloodsucking, Absorption, etc. In this case, the target of absorption is not blood, but saliva, which contains great magical energy. Of course, the only method of obtaining such specimen is through kissing. At B rank, saliva collection technique is above-average and lowers enemy defenses.
Heavenly Labrys: C
Refers to the halberd Lancer utilizes as a weapon. Due to a certain association with the king of the gods Zeus, it gains a divine attribute. The labrys is denoted as a symmetrical two-headed axe, but due to the constraints of the Servant system, it has manifested as a sort of halberd under the Lancer class.
Noble Phantasms:
ΣοφόνισβαFortitude of the Bereaved
Rank: C
Type: Anti-Unit
Range: 1
Max targets: 1 person
An anecdote regarding Artemisia tells of an incident where, in her struggle to keep her husband Mausolus always in mind, she mixed her beloved husband's ashes into her drink. As a crystallization of that event, Lancer gains the ability of skill acquisition by means of body part ingestion. By eating or drinking a body part or fluid coming from another person, Lancer gains relevant skills, knowledge, and the ability to view certain key memories. In this manner, Artemisia, who was remembered only as the builder of the Mausoleum, can quickly become a master of the sword, an excellent orator, or a magus on par with those from the Age of Gods, simply by ingesting the blood of one such specimen. If done to a Servant, certain personal skills may also be acquired. Due to the excellent synergy with the Kiss Demon skill, Lancer prefers to use saliva as her specimen of choice.

Sorry for the late reply, busy with things here.
I feel kaffir as fuck..
There's a reason why Avenger doesn't have that skill. *wink*
Alter? Close, but no bananas. Let's just say that no prophets were involved in the making of this sheet.

...... oh, he's the Nameless Muhammad of every terrorist group ever? Not actual Muhammad?
True Name: Zhang Sanfeng
Class: Striker
Alignment: Lawful Good
Parameters:
Strength: C++
Agility: B++
Endurance: C+
Mana: D+
Luck: C
Likes: Gardening, Meditation, Tranquility, Educating a Fool
Dislikes: Intentionally Ignorant Fools
Class Skills:
Natural Weapon: A
This skill measures the aptitude for using one’s body as a weapon , and is the class skill of the Striker class. For this Striker, this skill lies at A-rank, as he was a renowned martial artist in life, who created an entirely new set of Taijiquan movements. It increases his physical parameters by one rank while fighting unarmed.
Magic Resistance: B
This skill measures resistance to outward magical effects. In life, Striker was a master of Neijia, which in his era, was not only a method of internal martial arts, but a method of enacting mysteries focused around affecting one’s own body instead of the outside world. As a master of this art, his magic resistance is at B-rank.
Personal Skills:
Tajiquan: B
This skill measures mastery of Tajiquan, a mystery system developed by Taoists in ancient China. It’s focus was on affecting one’s body. Since Striker was summoned not as Caster, it’s rank has been decreased to B. However, Striker is still capable of using it to enhance his agility and strength by one rank, coursing Prana through his body to enhance it. In addition, he can use the equivalent of Prana-burst at B-rank, expelling precise amounts of Prana to enhance physical movement. However, this is not the only application possible. Striker is capable of using it to inject prana into an opponent’s body via touch. The result is similar to overloading one’s body with prana when attempting to reinforce it, that is to say, it is catastrophically damaging. Against opponents with magic resistance, like the Knight Classes, it is much less effective. There are other techniques possible with this skill, such as striking an object from afar with waves of prana emitting from the hands, making kicks that allow one to fly through the air, as well as other feats of impossible physical skill.
In the modern day, this skill is no longer a magecraft system, the knowledge to enact its mysteries having been lost to the ages. However, if he encounters a user of Taijiquan,he may be able to teach them how to enact its ancient mysteries.
Knowledge of Respect and Harmony: B
This skill allows for Striker’s techniques to not lose potency even once an opponent has observed them. It is derived from countless hours of meditation and practice of his martial art, with literally religious devotion.
Way of Wuxia: C
This skill denotes the property of being a ‘xia’, or Martial Hero. In his legend, Striker was revered as a mentor as well as a ‘xia’ in the vein of the ‘wuxia’ legend. In truth, he was but a simple monk who was a master of his art, but to legend, that mattered little. Wuxia is an ancient genre of warrior heroes who were masters of martial arts. Often, their techniques and martial arts allowed them supernatural skills. As such, Striker gains the ability to perform feats of martial prowess that would be impossible for even normal servants. Balancing on a single beam of wood, cutting a cloud into two with one’s hand, running across water, and more are all possible at C-rank.
Balance of Body and Soul: B
Ancient Oriental Magecraft did not utilize magic circuits. Rather, by breathing and walking in tune with the world, one could convert one’s entire body into a magic circuit, then using such prana generated in a way similar to a Marble Phantasm. Striker was a master of such techniques, spending decades meditating on it and mastering it to a great extent. However, due to not being summoned as Caster, this skill is downgraded to B. While his Magic parameter is an abysmal D due to his lack of Magic Circuits or a Magical Core, in reality, his capacity to generate prana is B-ranked, due to this skill. This skill does require constant focus on breathing and walking in a manner in tune with the world, but for a master of Striker’s level, this is easy.
A certain purposeless former assassin , if encountered, could certainly be taught how to use this skill due to his natural talent.
Noble Phantasm:
The Lessons of the Snake , ‘The Greatest Master is an Eternal Student’: - [Anti-Technique]
This noble phantasm does not manifest as a weapon or a magic. Instead, it is indicative of his ability to analyze events around him and translate them into martial arts techniques he can use to incredible effect. Inspired by his observation and re-interpretation of a snake’s movements when fighting a bird, when witnessing an event, be it a mystery, the pop of toast, the flipping of a pan, or even the activation of a Noble Phantasm, he can begin creating a martial arts technique that imitates it. While it can never approach the power and effects of it if the original is a Noble Phantasm or Mystery, he can come remarkably close. For instance, if witnessing the activation of Ionian Hetairoi, he can interpret it to create a technique that allows for the summoning of allies, even if they are far away, though it cannot reach beyond time. Or he could use it to create a technique that allows him to perform an attack that imitates the charge of the soldiers of Ionian Hetairoi, attacking as if he was a charge of countless heroic spirits. The longer the grail war lasts, the more potential this has, as if left unchecked, he can interpret even mundane events into techniques that would be challenging for an opponent, much less if he witnesses and interprets a noble phantasm. The saving grace is that it requires time and sustained viewing, if he only views an event once, his skill to make a coherent and powerful technique from it is greatly reduced. A glimpse of an event would make it outright impossible to create a technique from it.
However, some techniques he is unable to replicate, such as a certain fake assassin’s blade technique that defies reality. A certain exceptionally strong berserker’s Nine Lives strike , however, he would be able to using to create a similar technique. In addition, producing more than once technique from a single event takes much shorter than producing another technique from a different event. For example, it would take less time to produce two techniques from Gae Bolg than to produce one from Gae Bolg and Excalibur.
Lore and Personality:
In life, Zhang Sanfeng was a master of Taijiquan, an oriental magecraft and martial arts system. He spent his life as an ascetic , meditating and practicing his craft. One day, he watched a snake fight a bird, and observed it’s smooth movements. Inspired, he created 72 additional Taijiquan movements based on the movements of the snake. After his death, his legend was blown out of proportion by later writers. He was ascribed as an ultimate master of his craft when he was simply a monk who led a pure and dedicated life, even if he was supremely talented at his craft. Students who he never actually taught were also ascribed to him, and he became an icon of mystical chinese martial arts.
Summoned as a Heroic Spirit, he will really be quite befuddled as to why he is a Heroic Spirit. Regardless, he chooses to fight to ensure a proper wish is made, as even though he has no wish of his own, that does not mean he will allow someone to make a foolish or malicious wish. For those with foolish wishes, he’d much rather educate them as to the flaws of their wish, but for those with malicious wishes, he will show no mercy, unless he sees something that makes him reconsider.
Aside from his wishes for the war, he acts like a stereotypical cheerful old man, content to spend his time not fighting meditating and gardening. He has a soft spot for children, and will somehow procure ginger sweets to give to any he encounters. Whether he buys them, creates them with magecraft somehow, or simply has them in his robe, none are quite sure.

Sorry to dissapoint you.
Well, if you try to summon Muhammad, but wishes for him to be the evil, ruthless, etc guy, this one comes out. Kinda like Jeanne and Jalter (?).

@Artemisia II: Good usage of some of the GO skills and the Noble Phantasm is a pretty creative way of using Blood sucking. It it limited to just blood or could she like take a bite out of people?
